* These garnets are from a new find in Mahenge, Tanzania, the same region famous for its spinels. The color is so unusual we have affectionately nicknamed these our ‘padparadscha garnets’. The colors we have range from a yellow peach to a pinky peach, they are unheated and untreated in any way. They are unlike anything we have seen before. With the toughness of garnet, these will make very good ring stones, with a reasonably protective setting.
